Talk to the data! 7 Chinese and foreign mainstream browser speed evaluation

The speed of the world! This sentence is more appropriate in the browser. Compared to a variety of ancillary functions, fast browsing, download fast seems to win the favor of users, after all, for modern browsers, the function is not yet available through the installation of expansion to make up, but if the speed is not enough, is a big mishap. Generally want to judge the speed of a browser, we can roughly from the start speed, browsing speed, download speed of these three aspects, especially to browse speed is most important. So who is the fastest in the mainstream browsers? The so-called foreign products can really bring us Superman feeling it? This period we specially prepared this article, hope that through a group of real comparisons, for you to provide some reference! Figure 01 Browser List Figure 02 Test machine hardware and software configuration note: To ensure that the test results are fair and accurate, all browsers keep the default settings and no extensions are installed. 1. The start-up speed is often a neglected detail compared to the cold start time and browsing speed, but in fact it is more intuitive than any one of the indicators from the user's own experience. In the test we selected the most traditional stopwatch metering, in order to be as close as possible to the real environment, the test before the small set of manual browser homepage for http://www.baidu.com/, and asked the browser to start automatically open the home page. And then through the stopwatch metering browser to start to Baidu full open first page when the total. To minimize possible errors in the test, manually clean the cache before each time, 3 times per set of numerical tests, and a 3-time average for the table. Figure 03 Cold Start Time Contrast (unit: seconds smaller the better) "cold start" refers to the first run of the computer after the browser to spend the initial hours, because at this time the system has not established a cache, so cold start often more than usual (hot boot) time-consuming. Generally speaking, the larger the browser, the stronger the function, its cold start time will be longer, but in recent years some domestic manufacturers began to use such as preloading to improve the speed of cooling, but also a good idea. The fastest boot speed in the test is the 360 secure browser, which is about 3.08 seconds in total. More than the mainstream browser at home and abroad, the 360 can be seen in the speed of a lot of kung Fu. 2. Thermal start-up time compared to the cold start of the "self-made", hot start because the system has been established in the cache, so the speed to significantly improve a lot. From the measured results, the 360 security browser is still in the lead, with a total of only 0.72 seconds. Previously underperforming Chrome has finally picked up in the round, with a 0.9-second score that is relatively satisfying. Figure 04 Comparison of hot Boot time (in seconds, as small as possible) 3. The Electronic Business website opens when the Electronic Business website for the browser, has been a more severe test, this is mainly because it has the massive page layout and the picture element result. Usually the measurement page opening time also has stopwatch and tool two methods, but in view of the stopwatch method relatively large error,We have selected the "Stopwatch" (http://www.numion.com/Stopwatch/) produced by numioncom as the timing tool. Of course, because the server load and network environment are in real time changes, the following results may be slightly different from your self-test, the wrong place also hope to be able to understand rationally! Note: To minimize possible errors in the test, the whole process is performed 3 times, and the average of 3 times is taken as the result. The stopwatch can accurately measure the actual opening of each Web page. From the evaluation results, seven browsers on average, although there are differences, but the overall already belong to the same level. The fastest is still "Speed king" Chrome, averaging 3.9 seconds, domestic 360 Security browser ranked second, averaging 4.1 seconds. As for the other contestants, it is generally 4.3 seconds to 4.4 seconds, the overall speed difference is small. Figure 06 Home Page comparison (unit: seconds as small as possible) 4. News sites Open when the news site is the same, a large number of page layout plus high-quality news pictures, the browser performance has made no small demands. From the final results, the chrome, opera two browser obviously dominant, the average hours are controlled within 9 seconds. The 360 safe browsers in domestic browsers performed well, averaging 8.9 seconds, and opera at the same level. As for the other browsers, the dog will not perform well in this section until 9 seconds. Figure 07 News Web site Time comparison (unit: the smaller the number of seconds the better) 5. File download time in addition to browsing speed, download speed is also a target of concern to users. In this section of the test, we prepared several download links for different Web sites, then opened them in turn and measured the entire period with a stopwatch. The reason why this design is mainly based on the following considerations, one can detect the browser download components for different network adaptability, and also easy to observe the browser for bandwidth preemption and distribution level, of course, the last point is the most important, that is to do in fact the closest to the real use of the environment. Finally, the average download rate of each browser is computed by dividing the volume and total use. Figure 08 This is the 360 Security browser 7 Download window, you can clearly see the shadow of the Thunderbolt test in four domestic browsers obviously accounted for, which is proud to download the fastest, average rate of 247 KB. 360 Safe Browser performance is better, only more than proud tour with 5 seconds, average rate 241 KB. The reason why there is such a result, mainly from domestic browsers generally in the download module to join the Professional cloud acceleration (such as 360 and thunder to cooperate), in dealing with the unpopular resources obviously more advantages than foreign counterparts. Figure 09 File Download speed Comparison 6. Integrated run points Contrast Robohornet Pro is a Google published browser comprehensive performance evaluation tool, the main feature is the evaluation of the whole project. In addition to dailyMore common JavaScript, including CSS3 animations, CSS3 variants, CSS3 text shadows, custom Web open fonts, Unicode encoding, and other items of the test, you can say that basically covers the existing browsers support the technology. Figure Robohornet Pro test page Figure 11 Comprehensive score contrast (unit: the smaller the better) summing up overall, the foreign browser Chrome browser with the most excellent, domestic browsers in the 360 security browser speed fastest. However, in this small set to specifically say that the foreign software is often not good at detail design, many people are accustomed to the humanization of the operation is basically to be completed by extension. Domestically produced software is to build these functions into it, so it is not appropriate to say, this is like two heavyweight different fighters to play, can be a tie is already very powerful! By contrast, the Chinese-made browsers, represented by 360 secure browsers, are not only at speed without losing foreign peers, humanized design and download speed is obviously dominant. Crucially, it can directly install tens of thousands of extensions in the Chrome store. In this connection, some users insist that "foreign moon is round" is not appropriate, because when your browser also installed a large number of extensions, you can guarantee that it is as comfortable as now?
